Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Let me see if there are any other stars nearby that I can eat!

To be honest, Gen Subaru had already consumed quite a few stars along the way. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have had the strength to pass through that terrifying chaotic spacetime storm, let alone conduct various tests and experiments on Tregear.

This also means that finding something to replenish energy is not so easy now. The remaining stars are all nearby inhabited by civilized planets. If he were to consume these stars, it would undoubtedly be a devastating disaster for those civilized planets. After all, they did not attempt to escape under the threat of the chaotic spacetime storm, which shows that their civilization and technology have not yet reached the level of space travel. The importance of stars to them is like that of the sun to Earth.

Since that's the case, I guess I'll just have to go look for it further away myself. Ugh, so annoying. I really envy Senior Regedo and the others. Their mana bars seem to be endless, and they never have to worry about running out. If I could be like them, I could easily solve a lot of problems right now.

However, if I really possessed near-infinite energy, I imagine I could hold my own against Saga and Legend for quite a while.

Oh dear, I feel like I'm getting a little too self-important for no reason, hahaha!!!

While Subaru hummed a tune, searching for an unattached star, Tartarus and Tiga were working together to easily defeat the newly formed Chaos Voids. Tartarus, in particular, was increasingly amazed by Tiga's strength during their cooperation. How to put it...

Just how many skills does this guy have? Is his skill list all-encompassing?!

Tartarus remembered the battle just now. The newly formed chaotic breach spewed out a large number of chaotic shadows, but those chaotic soldiers were not coming for him and Tiga. Instead, they scattered and fled. Although he didn't know what they were planning, it was definitely not a good thing.

Then, just as Tartarus was about to make his move, Tiga calmly raised his hands beside him. Behind him, a crisp explosion was heard, followed by a barrage of multicolored light bullets that shot out like aurora borealis. Each bullet seemed to be controlled by Tiga himself, dodging the attacks launched by the Chaos Shadows and passing the afterimages that served as decoys, accurately detonating all the Chaos Shadows.

This move was so brilliant that Tartarus couldn't help but applaud in praise, while Tiga remained nonchalant, as if it were just a normal operation for him. With such a companion, even if they encountered Belial who wasn't quite dead, no matter what the dark giant was plotting in the shadows, they could probably send him back to hell with ease by working together.

Um! ?

Just then, Tartarus and Tiga noticed something and looked to their left. It wasn't that a new chaotic breach had been created there, but rather that they sensed a new, familiar energy fluctuation. As warriors who had both suffered in the Azure Calamity, they knew all too well that this energy fluctuation was the energy called Primal Matter.

what happened?

How did this weird thing appear again?

Tartarus and Tiga exchanged a glance, then immediately changed their course, heading towards the direction from which the primal energy was emanating. There they saw a massive fleet of azure-green battleships. Tartarus recognized them; they were the Giga Endora of Delacion. He hadn't expected that even that figure...

No, there's no time to be surprised now. We need to intercept these corrupted giga-endoras immediately, or things will get really messy!

486 Tanuki Yokai (4k)

The value of the Giga Endora has been verified more than once, especially since the quantity of these things is quite astonishing. As a result, Tartarus and Tiga were caught in a fierce battle, and the search for Belial was temporarily put on hold.

Meanwhile, on Noah's side, after the original essence's defenses were breached once, Noah's offensive intensified once again. He knew very well that most of the original essence's exquisite creations had been consumed over the long years. As long as he could hold out for a while longer and free up his teammates, he could find a way to block the original essence's whereabouts and force it into a one-on-one battle with him.

So hold on, you absolutely must hold on, victory is just around the corner!

Meanwhile, on the other side, the original essence no longer had the strange and ambiguous state of mind it had before. Apart from the decrease in the number of its creations, it was also concerned about what that strange corrective power was, where that power came from, and who controlled it. All of this made the original essence extremely concerned.

But Noah's relentless pursuit left him unable to focus on investigating the matter. So, Yuanzhi was very annoyed, extremely annoyed. He had already begun to hate Noah. Yes, before this, no matter how Noah hunted him down or plotted against him, Yuanzhi never got angry. His old father was senile and stubbornly couldn't see things clearly, so there was nothing to be angry about. He could just continue to get along well.

Once he realizes that he is right and that the power of the primordial is the only true home in this universe, he will stop talking nonsense and come to his side, becoming his family and his senior again.

Original essence... or rather, that's what Yoshiro Sakura has always thought. But now, Noah's constant obstruction makes this guy think that his friendly attitude towards him is a bit too much, and he might take advantage of it. Really, it seems that I have to bring out something new to broaden Noah's horizons.

Thinking of this, Yoshiaki Sakura's gaze fell on the engine in Noah's hand. It had to be said, it was indeed an extraordinary thing, but...

Even the best things won't work if the wrong people handle them. Next, let's show Noah that even an engine isn't necessarily safe, hehehehehehehehe!!!

In Yoshiraku Sakura's eyes, a gloomy light flickered, and an ominous shadow was silently looming over Noah and the engine...

On the other side, Gen Subaru had also finished devouring the unclaimed star and arrived at the chaotic spacetime storm. He smashed it hard, preventing it from becoming a new chaotic breach. Then, Gen Subaru clapped his hands, turned around, and headed towards TPC Earth. On the way, he sent messages to the cosmic civilizations that were still fleeing, informing them that the chaotic spacetime storm was about to dissipate, so that they would not be forced to leave their home planet.

At this time, on Earth, it was already noon of the second day. Subaru's disappearance did not cause much chaos. The members of the GUTS team thought about it briefly and unanimously believed that Subaru had gone to space to investigate the mass exodus of cosmic civilizations. So they took action and rushed over to the location shown by the tracker that Daigo had thrown into the Obik pot.

However, during their pursuit, the tracker's signal eventually stopped near a well in the wilderness. The Victory Team members thoroughly checked the surrounding area but found nothing, including anything related to Obik. For a moment, it seemed that the investigation had been forced to stop. The Shinjo team member peeked out somewhat uneasily. Although it was daytime and his teammates were beside him, he still felt quite afraid of these places that were definitely haunted.

"I said, could it be that the tracker is broken?"

The Shin-Cheng team member originally wanted to say that the tracker might not work well because Obik is a monster, but he changed his mind and felt that saying that would make him seem pathetic, so he changed his answer on the spot.

Horii waved his hand dismissively, saying that it was impossible. How could something he made break so easily? However, the Victory Team members were indeed a little nervous at this moment, because after comparing the coordinates on the base computer, Nozue found that they were currently in the place where the victim had been found. Who knew if Obik might be lying in ambush here?

However, at that moment, a monk suddenly appeared in front of the GUTS team, holding in his hand the tracking device that Daigo En had thrown in:

"Gentlemen, are you looking for this?"

The monk greeted them with a kind smile, and Horii responded and enthusiastically went over to talk to him. Daigo Madoka frowned slightly; he hadn't noticed when the monk had appeared, which was somewhat frightening. However, he didn't sense anything strange about the monk, so he didn't think much of it and quietly listened to Horii's conversation with the monk.

Subsequently, the members of the Victory Team learned that last night, when the monk finished his religious ceremony and passed by, he saw something flashing and jumping out of the well next to him. Feeling that this thing was not an ordinary object, the monk picked it up and waited here. After seeing the Victory Team looking for something, the monk knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

After listening to the monk's explanation, the members of the Victory Team immediately understood that Obik's pot was connected to the well, and that the method used to transfer the victims was the same. In a sense, this was also a teleportation ability from darkness to darkness.

Hearing this, the monk who had been listening to the commotion seemed to realize something and whispered:

"Are you talking about the legendary monster Obik?"

"Master, you know this?"

Since it involved supernatural and mystical matters, even religious monks became a source of clues, and Horii, the team member, asked curiously:

"How much do you know about Obik?"

The monk recounted Obik's story to the crowd. Long ago, Obik was known as "Young Master" by the locals and lived in the darkness of the nearby streets. However, due to urban development and construction, Obik could no longer live comfortably there. As he spoke, the monk looked up at the open field before him, where signs from construction developers had been erected, indicating that the area was about to be transformed. The monk sighed and said softly:

"It is said that the endless lotus ponds that can be seen from here were originally a peaceful village. At night, the entire village would be plunged into darkness. But now it's different. Even in the darkest midnight, the city is still brightly lit. This is completely different from the place that Obik is familiar with."

After saying this, the monk handed the tracker to Horii and left without saying anything more. However, as he turned to leave, a tail suddenly appeared on the monk's buttocks. Daigo Madoka noticed something and looked back, but the tail disappeared before he could see it.

After seeing the monks off, the Victory Team had no choice but to head back. However, on their way back to base, they noticed a large crowd gathered in one place, seemingly a reporter creating some kind of spectacle. Hesitant, the Victory Team decided to stop and see what was going on. If the interview was about Obik, they would have to be careful, as these reporters, always looking for a big story, weren't exactly known for respecting the facts.

Upon seeing the GUTS team appear, the reporter immediately abandoned his interview and headed towards them. The surrounding crowd surged forward, even pushing the reporter and his team to the back, and then began bombarding the GUTS team members with all sorts of strange questions.

After a brief period of confusion, the Victory Team finally realized that the information had become seriously inaccurate after being passed around countless times. In the midst of panic, everyone believed whatever they heard. While the Victory Team was busy searching for Obik's whereabouts, rumors were already rampant in the city, and the story about Obik had become increasingly outlandish.

"Quiet down, everyone! Quiet down!!!"

Realizing the situation, Commander Zongfang immediately stood on higher ground and shouted:

"Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, there's nothing to be afraid of. During this time, just don't go near unfamiliar dark areas or contact unfamiliar ramen stalls. The Victory Team will handle the rest! After dark, everyone should try to avoid going out, understand?!"

After Zongfang issued this clarification, the crowd dispersed. Some were still afraid and wanted to go home and hide immediately, while others felt that the matter was not as interesting as they had imagined and would rather go about their own business.

But on the reporter's side, this reporter, who was eager for a big story, found herself unable to get in and interview the Victory Team, so she set her sights on a policeman who claimed to have seen Obik. That policeman was also quite fond of boasting, adding details to the non-existent experience and claiming that he had seen Obik with his own eyes.

Looking at the unease on the faces of the onlookers and then at the residents who had already dispersed, Daigo Madoka understood in that instant why Obik had sent the victim back, and why Obik's appearances had been so subtle lately, always appearing when the topic of him was losing its momentum. Obik wanted everyone in the city to be afraid, to disrupt the city's order because of his presence, so that whatever his true purpose might be, he could easily strike!

At this moment, Obik was holding a black umbrella, standing on a tree in the mountains, looking up at the changes in the city. After seeing the streets in complete chaos, he happily pumped his fist, indicating that his operation had been a great success. Then he went to the pot and gently patted it, as if to comfort his shadow mage companion hiding inside.

Then, Obik closed the black umbrella he used to shield himself from the sun, and the warm sunlight immediately shone on him. This made Obik shiver uncomfortably. He was a dark monster, he disliked light, and his body could not withstand the corrosive influence of light. However, in order for the next step of his plan to succeed, he threw the black umbrella aside and ran towards the city.

Meanwhile, just as Daigo Madoka was sharing his conjecture with his teammates, a strange suona sound rang in their ears. The members of the GUTS team looked around in surprise and found that the sound seemed to be coming from every dark corner of the city, as if the entire city was playing this strange melody.

As the suona horn sounded, the police officers who had been talking so confidently, as well as the onlookers, were all stunned. Then, shouting things like "Obik is here!" and "Obik is here!", they fled in terror to their homes.

"We... have no choice but to catch them!"

Seeing the sudden chaos, Commander Zongfang slapped his head in exasperation, looked at his teammates, and said in a low voice:

"Let's go! Let's play hide-and-seek with Obik!"

It really was a game of hide-and-seek. There were just too many dark corners in this city. Even though the city wasn't very big, the Victory Team was still too short-handed. The Victory Team members were like monkeys in a circus, being completely manipulated by Obik and unable to catch him at all. After all this trouble, the only thing they probably got was the Polaroid camera in Lina's hands, which contained Obik's video.

However, just as Obik was teleporting around and playing pranks on the GUTS team, the monk who had given the tracker to the GUTS team reappeared outside the city. In front of the monk was Subaru, who had fallen from the sky and was about to join the game of hide-and-seek.

"My lord, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"A tanuki monster? I never thought there really were monsters like you on Earth."

Looking at the polite monk, Genjiro immediately recognized his true form. He crossed his arms and said softly:

"So, what are you planning to do by stopping me?"

487 Prophecies about Subaru

"My lord, please give me a chance..."

After Subaru exposed his true form, the monk showed no sign of panic. He simply and honestly dispelled his transformation magic, and the tanuki demon stood before Subaru, bowing to him like a human and saying:

"We've heard about your deeds. Compared to Tiga, you're obviously more decisive and ruthless. Hehehe... I just wanted to come here for a stroll, but I happened to run into you, sir. In a sense, this is fate."

"Three sentences."

Gen Subaru casually tossed out his lightsaber, looked at the tanuki monster in front of him, and said softly:

"If you can't convince me, then you and that Obik should die together."

“Obik really didn’t mean to hurt anyone. He’s a kind monster. He just can’t let go of the past.”

Unexpectedly, this avatar of light was even less patient than his own people had described. The tanuki-youkai spoke quickly, and after finishing, noticing that Subaru's lightsaber hadn't fallen, he quickly added:

"My lord, we monsters used to live in uninhabited mountains and lakes, and we never had any conflicts with humans. It's just that in recent years, with the rapid development of humans and their continuous expansion of their territory, we monsters have become homeless. However, we have no intention of revenge. It's just that some monsters, like us, who have dealt with humans in the past, can adapt to their current lives relatively smoothly, but some monsters really need a little time."

"...like Obik?"

"Yes, like Obik."

Seeing the child-like avatar of light before him show a hint of emotion, the tanuki demon breathed a long sigh of relief, its tone softening as it slowly spoke:

"So, my lord, please give me a chance. I assure you, Obik will not harm anyone, not even that human who was frightened earlier. I'm sorry he suffered so much. My people have already made it up to him. My lord, you know that our tanuki's compensation is always satisfactory."

Are you close to Obik?

Gen Subaru thought for a moment, then dispelled his lightsaber and stood side by side with the tanuki monster, looking at the city where the sound of suona horns was now echoing everywhere, and said softly:

"It's surprising that they would go to such lengths to help him."

"Familiar... well, not really familiar."

The tanuki monster chuckled, sat down on a nearby tree stump, removed the leaf from its head used for illusion magic, and swished its tail as it said:
